Bridge scandal panel Republicans accuse Democrats of keeping them in the dark

TRENTON — Republicans on the legislative panel investigating the George Washington Bridge scandal today accused Democrats of keeping them in the dark about the fact that the latest subpoenas would seek records related to issues beyond the lane closings.

Records released by the committee Wednesday showed the 18 subpoenas issued this week not only sought more information related to the September lane closings, but also the now defunct ARC tunnel project and recent toll increases.

"We didn’t know we were going to do anything beyond the scope of this bridge thing," Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll (R-Morris) said. "We didn’t get text of the subpoenas until after they were issued. We didn’t know what was in them when they were submitted."

Carroll said during the nearly two-hour executive session held by the committee Monday, Republicans received assurances that they would be made "well aware of what was going on, if not full partners, at least fully informed."

Especially if they listen to Steve, Chris and Rachael. Tweety is doing a good job too.
